In my experience, Magic Find is not that great, at least when it comes to Legendary items (RoLS, ElyR, RoL). For extraordinary, however, it proved rather efficient. Then again, that's only my experience, and there are plenty of threads with people appyling the mathematical laws of statistics to give a feeling of how worth MF can be, and how hard grinding these can be.
At lv18, I'd suggest getting other, more combat oriented, skills, but that's just me.

The benefit is essentially the same for Extraordinary and Legendary items. Two levels of MF roughly doubles your chances of finding them. Here's the number of kills needed for a 90% chance of finding them: Edit: Assuming I understand correctly how MF works. It says it increase your chance by 50% for each skill level. I assume that means 50% of the base chance, so for an extraordinary item the chance with no levels is 0.1%, with one level it's 0.15%, with two levels it's 0.2%. Maybe it increases your existing chance (including the effects of any MF levels) by 50% though? Then for an extraordinary item the chance with two levels would be 0.225%. Can anyone confirm how it actually works?

I love me, too. x3
Having not wasted SP in Magic Finder, it was a /happydancetiem moment. But yah.
Hows about an ElyR in <385 Wyrm Whatsits? =P

So, I broke and got MF1. Pleased too - got a RoLS pretty fast. Can't tell how many kills it took, but i have 51 small rocks from the cave . Level 19 now. Might try for a second now, not sure.

ELYR? I'm srr but I've gone through the entire list of equipment/weapons and can't find it? Wat is ELyR?

Got my RoLSs yesterday .
I was using the Save / Load tactic for the grind (must have wasted quite a lot of XP), so I don't have a rock count (have only 26). After quite a lot of time grinding, I finally got my first RoLS with around 7 trainers / masters left in the area. Thought I'd try out the new RoLS and finish off all in the area before going home. Couldn't really believe it when the fifth trainer after the RoLS dropped my SECOND RoLS

Got 2 RoLSs in a single run. My only regret is missing out on all the XP I could have got if I played it normally, but its worth it.

*sigh*..... grats!

*goes back to his little cave in search of that blasted elusive ring again*

Not to shatter hopes of finding the RoLS fast but even with the skill MF:1; my final count before getting the ring was trainers:6301 and masters:3573. maybe I'm just unlucky lol

With one level of MF and 9874 kills your chance of getting a ring was a bit over 77%. So you were somewhat unlucky, but not excessively so.

My totals are 57 masters and 104 trainers (I had to look in the save file to even figure this out!). So my chance of getting a ring, with no levels of MF, was only 1.6%. I was very lucky!
